BOTTLE SEG'UT.

Application filed January 5, 1927. Serial No. 159,113.

This invention relates particularly to a spout for milk bottles and the like It is the object of the present. lIlVGIltlOll to provide a spout that may be readily mounted upon the discharge end of a milk bottle and quickly and easily removed therefrom.

It is another object of the invention to provide a spout of the character indicated that may be fitted upon the bottle insuch a manner as to prevent leakage of liquid therebetween.

It is still another object of the invention to provide a device of the character indicated that may be formed from a single piece of sheet metal and easily provided with means for clamping the same tightly upon the bottle.

Finally, it is an object of the invention to provide a device of the character indicated that will be simple in form and construction, economical to manufacture, and highly efficient in its practical applicatlon. In the drawing,-

Figure 1 is a plan View of the device In position on a bott e, part being broken away.

Figure 2 is asection on line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a detail plan view of the fastening or tightening device.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1' show at 1 a stri of sheet metal formed and shaped to c osely engage the upper edge of a milk bottle neck 2, and

" preferably curving over the upper edge thereof to the shoulder 3 ordinarily provided as a sto to receive the bottle closure. A suitable strip, such as rubber, is inserted as at 4 to prevent liquid from leaklng under the spout when being poured.

This strip 1 has a. circumference somewhat less than the circumference of the bottle neck upon which it is to be mounted, and has its lower edge rolled over a wire 5. The

' two ends of the wire 5 project past the opposing ends of the strip 1 and are hooked as shown at 6. A wire fastener 7 is mounted on these opposing hooked ends of the mm 5 for the purpose of drawing the two together and so binding the strip 1 tightly upon the bottle neck 2. Since this fastener is in common use and its structure well known it is not herein describedin detail.

The inner edge of the strip 1 is turned upwardly and outwardly at its point of engagement with shoulder 3, and prolonged and formed into a spout 8.

lly means of the construction described the device may be economically made from a single piece of sheet metal, and quickly and easily applied to or removed from a bottle,

and by its use liquid may be poured from a bottle without dripping or leakage and without running down the bottle side.

It is to be understood, of course, that while I have herein shown and described but one specific embodiment of the invention, changes in form, construction and method of application may be made within the scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A spout for a bottle having a shoulder formed in its neck portion adjacent its upper end, and comprising a sheet of waterproof resilient material formed to overlie and closely engage the upper edge of a bottle and means for binding the same upon a.

bottle, the inner edge of the said'sheet being formed to engage the shoulder in the bottle neck and havlng aportion turned backwardly upon itself to overhang the neck engaging portion and form a spout.

2. A spout for a bottle havinga shoulder formed in its neck portion adjacent its upper end, and comprising an element encircling a portion of the outer surface of the bottle neck and provided with means for binding the same to the bottle neck and extending upwardly and over the upper edge of the bottle, thence downwardly to enga e the said shoulder in the bottle neck an then turned upwardly and backwardly upon itself to overhang the neck engaging portion and form a spout} WILLIAM RAWLINGS.
